Garmin Connect Not Running in Background? Discover the Surprising Reasons Why

Have you ever experienced the frustration of your Garmin Connect app not running in the background, even though you’ve set it to do so? It’s a common issue that many users have reported, and it can be frustrating to try and troubleshoot. If you’re one of those users, don’t worry – we’re here to help. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the possible causes of this issue and provide some tips on how to fix it.

Why Garmin Connect Not Running In Background?

If you’re having trouble with Garmin Connect not running in the background on your Android device, there are a few potential reasons why this could be happening.

First, make sure that you have granted Garmin Connect the necessary permissions to run in the background. To do this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Garmin Connect” entry. Make sure that the “Allow background data usage” and “Allow battery optimization” settings are both enabled.

If you’re still having trouble, it’s possible that your device’s battery optimization settings are preventing Garmin Connect from running in the background. To check this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Battery optimization” entry. Make sure that the “All apps & games” setting is enabled, and that “Garmin Connect” is not listed under the “Optimized” or “Not optimized” sections.

If you’re still having trouble, it’s possible that your device’s security settings are preventing Garmin Connect from running in the background. To check this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Security” entry. Make sure that the “Allow unknown sources” and “Allow installations from unknown sources” settings are both disabled.

If you’re still having trouble, it’s possible that your device’s data usage settings are preventing Garmin Connect from running in the background. To check this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Data usage” entry. Make sure that the “Mobile data” and “Wifi data” settings are both enabled, and that “Garmin Connect” is not listed under the “Data usage” or “Mobile data usage” sections.

Have You Tried Restarting Your Device?

• I have indeed tried restarting my device, and it did not help.
• I have tried restarting my device several times, and each time it did not help.
• I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I have followed the instructions carefully and I still cannot get my device to work properly.
• I would appreciate any help or advice you can offer on how to get my device to work properly.

Is Your Device Compatible With Garmin Connect?

The minimum requirement for a compatible device is a GPS-enabled fitness product that can transmit data wirelessly. That’s a pretty low bar, as just about every new fitness device can do that.

For some activities, such as hiking and cycling, it’s also useful if your device can connect to third-party sensors, such as a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor, or power meter.

Garmin Connect is a huge repository of data, and it can display a lot of information from your device. For this reason, we recommend that you use a compatible device that can track as many metrics as possible. For example, most running watches and fitness trackers can track your steps, your distance, your pace, and your calories burned.

Heart rate monitors can track your heart rate, of course, but also your heart rate zones, your resting heart rate, and your heart rate variability.

Power meters can track your power output, your pedaling efficiency, and your cycling dynamics.

There’s a good chance that whatever device you’re using is compatible with Garmin Connect. If you have a fitness tracker or a smart watch, it’s almost certainly compatible. If you have a cycling computer or a GPS running watch, it’s probably compatible.

Have You Checked If There Are Any Updates Available For Your Device?

Have you checked if there are any updates available for your device? If you’re using a computer, you can update your device by going to the manufacturer’s website and downloading the latest update. If you’re using a mobile device, you can update your device by going to the app store and downloading the latest update. Once you’ve updated your device, try using the app again and see if the issue is resolved. If you’re still having trouble, you may need to contact the app’s manufacturer for further assistance.

In addition to updating your device, it’s also important to make sure you’re using the latest version of the app. You can check to see if there’s a new version of the app available by going to the app store and looking for the app. If there’s a new version of the app available, you can download it and try using the app again.

Are You Using The Latest Version Of Garmin Connect?

We’re always working on improving Garmin Connect, and we release new versions of the app regularly. Make sure you have the latest version installed to get the most out of your device and the app.

If you don’t have automatic updates enabled on your device, you can update the app manually. Just open the App Store (for iOS devices) or the Google Play Store (for Android devices), search for “Garmin Connect” and select the “Update” button if an update is available.

If you’re having trouble updating, you can also try reinstalling the app. First, go to your device’s settings and select “Apps & notifications” (for iOS devices) or “Apps” (for Android devices). Next, select “Garmin Connect” and then select “Uninstall.” Once the app is uninstalled, open the App Store or the Google Play Store and reinstall the latest version of Garmin Connect.

Have You Tried Deleting And Reinstalling The App?

If you’re having trouble with an app, the first thing you should try is deleting it and then reinstalling it. This will help to fix any issues that you might be having with the app, and it will also make sure that you have the latest version of the app.

To delete an app, simply go to your phone’s settings and find the app in the list of apps. Then, tap on the app and select “Delete” from the menu.

Once you’ve deleted the app, go to the App Store and search for the app again. This will bring up a list of results, and you can choose to install the app again.

When you install the app, it will automatically update to the latest version, which will help to fix any issues that you might have been having with it.
